The Al Teglia Jobs for Youth Scholarship Fund
The Al Teglia Jobs for Youth Scholarship Fund
started in 2005 as a way to provide college and
vocational scholarships for San Mateo County
Youth, and to honor a lifetime of community
contributions by Al Teglia.
Born Albert M. Teglia to Italian immigrant parents
in 1931, Al graduated from Jefferson High School
and the College of San Mateo before a career of
tireless advocacy to better the lives of children and opportunities to the next generation of community
families in the County.
Affectionately known as “Mr. Daly City,” Al
championed community service efforts as part of
the County Human Services Agency and Peninsula
Works in Daly City. He helped establish and support
numerous programs including: Jobs for Youth;
Children’s Fund; Peddler Program; Reprogrammed
Computers; Adopt-a-Family; Dental Programs
for uninsured children and seniors; Daly City’s
Clean Community Committee and Community
Recognition Program.
Today, we are proud to honor Al’s incredible legacy
of service to the County by providing educational
leaders. Our annual breakfast event carries
that spirit forward, as a way to both recognize
scholarship recipients and connect them with the
incredibly generous sponsors who are making their
dreams come true.
